The force, called the diamagnetic force, which is directed upwards, appears to be strong enough to compensate the force of gravity (directed downwards) that also acts on every single atom of the frog. So, the frog's atoms do not feel any force at all and the frog floats as if it were in a spacecraft.
Can you levitate a frog in a strong magnetic field?
Flying Frogs! Sort of… The short answer is that living things — even humans — can levitate when a ridiculously strong/large magnet is used to repel the frog's atoms' magnetic fields.
What causes magnetic levitation?
If two magnets are mechanically constrained along a single axis, for example, and arranged to repel each other strongly, this will act to levitate one of the magnets above the other. Another geometry is where the magnets are attracted, but prevented from touching by a tensile member, such as a string or cable.
